How hilarious! All of them are overdubbed. THE WHOLE album was overdubbed. HC and LBG included.
For HC, Don's guitar parts most probably replayed. The tone is quite different in the original compared to the released version. Drum parts were overdubbed including the hi hats in the intro, which weren't actually there in the original performance. All vocals are overdubbed. Originally, Henley goes rougher in the performance. The "You can never leave!" part in the original had Henley go really high, whereas it was more subdued in the release.
As for LBG, sadly, the "They write Tim letters, tell Glenn Don's great" is an overdub. The original was "They write him letters, tell him he's great". And the final jam at the end is an overdub too. The real one had Felder join in. The piano parts also were changed.
So, sadly Austin, this is only a pseudo-live album, where, including your favorites, everything is overdubbed.
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Eagles Live Album
SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD (STEVE YOUNG COVER) to go
Besides the harmonies, there's not much to save the song. And said harmonies were overdubbed too much.
I wish the Eagles did Eagles Live like Made in Japan by Deep Purple, where they just selected the stand-out performances which were so good they didn't need to overdub.
They really should've taken the July 29th performance of SBR. That was actually good.

Hmmmm.... even TITTL might've been overdubbed. This is probably the only track where we can't be sure if it was overdubbed or not.

Hmm. I just cannot believe that.
I'm pretty sure LBG on Eagles Live has Felder on a lot of it.

Randy did say he returned to the studio for overdubbing but he didn’t specify which songs.
At any rate, I can’t believe Take It to the Limit is getting votes already!! It has been a standout live song for this band as well as one garnering standing ovations and wild applause. On this particular track, both Joe and Glenn praise it (although Glenn’s words were moved and dubbed in after another song :-x ).
And may I add, this ain’t no easy song to sing. I agree with what others have said, this is a beautiful performance and does not deserve an early exit.
I’m not voting yet, as I have to do some strategic considering.
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Eagles Live Album
It looks like SBR is next to go and doesn’t need my vote. I’ve given the remaining songs another listen and so I cast my vote for Take It Easy.
This version sounds a bit anemic compared to all the other live versions I’ve heard. It’s a great song which I adore but I’m voting based on performance in this particular album. The others remaining are simply better IMO.

Quite honestly, I can't believe a lot of the songs that have been eliminated, including the soon-to-be gorgeous Seven Bridges Road. This is one of the most unpredictable games that I think we have ever played. I decided a few rounds ago to just vote strategically for at least the next few rounds, so my votes are not necessarily reflecting the performance that I believe should be eliminated. My vote for Take It to the Limit does not mean that I don't think it's a great performance or that I want to eliminate it yet. However, IMO, it is not the best performance on the album. I rate a few others better, including some that have already been eliminated. For the record, I would have voted for Hotel California this round if I could have helped eliminate it. So, I'll continue voting strategically ...
I cast my vote for Take It to the Limit.
Re: Results of Round Eight
The next performance to be eliminated in Eagles Live Album Survivor is Seven Bridges Road. “Seven Bridges Road” the tribe has spoken and we have loved you in a tame way and we have loved you wild. But, sometimes there's a part of us that has to turn from here and go. You didn’t get to decide if you should go, so please head southward as you go and leave the island immediately.
